 | | The linear order, the author suggests, namely Platycercinae, Psittaculirostrinae, Nestorinae, Loriinae, seems odd--his phylogenetic views instead suggest Platycercinae, Psit- taculirostrinae, Loriinae, Nestorinae.--L.L.S. Remarks on distribution and taxonomy of the grass wrens Amytornis textills, modestus, and purnelli. |
